Hugging turns people into drug addicts? Nice :P

I don't get what your saying. How are they acting like victims by making a funny rap spoof of a little known and lesser used practice by a handful of Christians (and really, even most Christians wouldn't know about the "side hug"). Christians are allowed to have a sense of humour you know. Unless your talking about me because you think I'm defending them AND being sarcastic about the pope statement. In that case, I wasn't being sarcastic, the Pope covered for child rapists. He should go to prison. |
Oh... well, I misconstrued everything about your statements.
Sorry about that... xD

I just get mad to think that men who write panphlets like this influence anyone. These ideas are degrading to women and it contains many more bad ideology that has no place in modern society. I probably should make it clear that I do not believe all Christianns are like this, but this guy has the audacity to send it to thousands of people in the mail. That is annoying and deserves ridicule. I will refrain from posting more bad examples of Christianity again, but it is certainly easy to find. I respect anyones religous choice as long as it is not degrading to any sex, race, creed or sexual preferance. PEACE |
Thats respectable. But you have to remember, Some things that are "degrading to women" in your opinion, are not degrading at all to many of the women that are "degraded" I tend to agree that religion as a whole is hypocritical and can be degrading (mainly due to the human influence in said religions) However, most religions also teach and encourage people to live in a moral and just way by teaching people that there is a higher power that all must answer to. Like it or not, this dwarfs any minor discrepancies that may (and do) occur (with the exception of egregious acts done by extremists...and there are some in every camp).

Eh, that's cool.
Bust just out of curiousity, which one did you take the wrong way? My defense of the group, or my pope statements?
For the record, I'm an atheist and religion scares the crap out of me.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I consider condescension a character flaw. Both shows are incredibly stupid, overly ridiculous, and full of so much political bias that it will almost make you want to puke. But they're stupid fun nonetheless. And both shows have equally shitty, predictable formulas; albeit in different styles. Point is...Futurama is better than both. |
Fair enough, and Futurama certainly is a fantastic show. Though My personal favourites are Home Movies and King of the Hill.
As for condescension. Sure, I've got a flaw. But I'll take being a condescending prick over being a Family guy fan any day.
Family guy is a shitty, unfunny and an insult to both intelligence and humour. I'll gladly be a flawed person for saying that.

Eh, both really...
I suppose my experiences on the internet has desensitized me to sarcasm.

What you speak of dude sounds like cultural relativism. If certain cultures believe that one form of discrimination in one culture is normal while in another it is considred normal, that is cultural relativism. That is admidting that there are no universals and therefore one religion is not the absolute truth.
I agree that religion has done many great things still it does not make it for everyone. Religion has also been used to commit some of the worst travisties in the history of the human race. So I admidt there is good and bad to all religions.
A country of pure atheists/agnostics would probably also be a benevolent society that used altruism, yet was violent and discriminatory. In the end, I believe even a atheist/agnostic society would create some kind of religion, as it seems it is humanities nature to need an answer.
Glad to hear you have a new healthy baby girl!!!

Only if the question of "who am I?" wasn't answered for most people. If there was a culture that answered that without God then I'm sure it would remain without God.

WTF are you talking about dude??? Family guy is millions times better than both Futurama (it got off air LOL, it was a flop) and South Park. Not saying they suck, i like both shows and watched almost every episode of it, but Family Guy has hundreds of awesome jokes, and it most certanly ISN'T POLITICLY BIASED in any way. South Park used to be better, but the latest seasons started to suck real bad, and it REALLY IS politicly biased sometimes. Stewie was the funniest character ever, before they decided to turn him gay.
